Cut little upper portion of the cake so that the frosting sticks firm. Apply frosting to the cake with knife and freeze it for about 1hr.

Now decorate the cake with the fruits you like. I used Mango and strawberry.

Hope you all like my recipe....plz come back again... :)

Note Worthy TIPS:

While applying frost to cake the mixture spills on the cake boards and will ruin the complete preparation. To avoid this take wax strips/ Cut zip lock bag in to long strips and place them beneath the cake. remove these strips after you complete the decoration.

Always decorate cake with fruits/ nuts after freezing it atleast for 1hr.

MANGO:

It's Summer season.... no i'm wrong mango season....Yes, Mango is the favorite fruit for every one. I love to have them in any form....I used to love mango more in my tutti frutti.

Nutrition Facts of Mango:

Mango is rich in a variety of phytochemicals and nutrients. The fruit pulp is high in prebioticdietary fiber, vitamin C, diverse polyphenols and provitamin Acarotenoids.

Mango contains essential vitamins and dietary minerals. The antioxidant vitamins A, C and E compose 25%, 76% and 9% of the Dietary Reference Intake(DRI) in a 165 grams (5.8 oz) serving. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, 11% DRI), vitamin K (9% DRI), other B vitamins and essential nutrients, such as potassium,copper and 17 amino acids are at good levels. Mango peel and pulp contain other phytonutrients, such as the pigmentantioxidants – carotenoids and polyphenols – and omega-3 and -6 polyunsaturated fatty acid

Yoghurt:Yoghurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It has nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. People who are moderately lactose-intolerant can consume yoghurt without ill effects, because much of the lactose in the milk precursor is converted to lactic acid by the bacterial culture.

I love yoghurt, I have learned recently that consumption of low fat yoghurt results in weight loss due to calcium in it. So, Folks enpjy this drink as much as you can in this summer.Nutrition Facts of Yoghurt:

Method:Add all the above ingredients in a juice jar except cardamom powder. Grind them together and take the mixture in a glass and finally add cardamom powder and enjoy.Worthy to NOTE:Too much consumption of mango leads in digestive problems. So, avoid having too much of mango every day. we all know too much of anything is too bad.

Do you have any idea about how much amount of blood is lost during menstrual cycle of women?It is about 30-40ml in a normal women.

At this stage women requires iron.As we all know iron helps in formation of new blood, it is the main component in hemoglobin.During these five days food rich in iron is recommended for the women.

Women loose iron not only during menstrual cycle but also during pregnancy. Survey reviles that 80% pregnant women are anemic. Spinach contain Folic acid (vit B9), iron and very essential vitamin A that are very essential during pregnancy. Sesame is also rich source of iron.

So I'm combining both to make a perfect combo that recovers iron and other minerals during those five days and pregnancy.

Take Yellow lentils+spinach+green chilies+onions+turmeric+2cups of water in a Cooker and cook for 3 whistles.

Open the lid when all the moisture inside the cooker escapes out.

Mash all the ingredients.

4. Now take a pan and het 2ts of oil and add cumin seeds + mustard seeds + Red chili and wait until they splutter. 5. Add Coconut mixture and cook until the raw falvor of coconut goes away and now add sesame powder and cook for few more minutes in medium flame.

6. Now add tamarind juice and cook for few more minutes. 7. When the mixture is throughly cooked add chili powder and salt.

8. Now add Dal mixture to the pan and mix well. Cook for few more minutes and off the stove.

It's not only healthy but also tastes yummy.....enjoy this dish with rice/ roti....hope you all like it!!!!!!!!ThnX for stopping by...plz follow my blog and keep visiting :).......plz come back again :) Deepthi
